Host: Maurice Pickard, MD

Guest: Michele Goodwin, JD

Michele Goodwin, Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and recent author of "Black Markets: The Supply and Demand of Body Parts" discusses what can be done to shorten the wait for organ transplants. Current solutions such as matching programs, solicitations and altruism still lead to poor outcomes in that 50% of patients on transplant lists die before their names are called.
